Talon

I agree!:side:

A good rule of thumb, is if YOU can smell it, then it isn't good for them to inhale. Can you open the windows to air it out, turn on the AC. Do you have an air filter system you could turn on? I would be very worried about it if you can smell it. Many things are toxic to birds that aren't to us. But Glue is definitely toxic. It can affect them in a small amount of time, so I wouldn't allow him to sleep in the room unless you can air it out thoroughly. :dry:

Hi Barb! Welcome to the family. I'm happy you gave this sweet Milly a home! We love pictures, could you post one? Looking forward to hearing more about her!! There's lots here to read, so enjoy all the great advice and experience that everyone continues to share! :cheer:

Jeez! Talon wakes up if you sneeze!!! :pinch: Are you sure he's really sleeping? Does he take naps in the day?

Congratulations Amanda! We had no warranty with or bird either. You fall in love so quickly, it wouldn't have made a difference if something happened. Let us know how the check up goes.

We cover. Talon's sleep cage is in my son's room, and he is up most of the night on his computer, so it keeps the light out. Talon is a verY light sleeper, and is bothered by noises at night. I believe most birds aren't like that. Lucky us!! :unsure:

Dan, We too,lavished Talon with attention when she came to us. It was right before x-mas, and I was home most of the time, soon, my kids were out of school, so someone was always home. Talon was very young, in a new place with strangers to her, and she needed the extra comfort to feel safe, and comfortable in her new home with her new cage, toys, and family. As time went on, very quickly she was happy to be left alone in her cage, while I had to go out, or go to work. So I am on the other side of the coin, and would spend as much time as I could with your new baby, and gradually allow a schedule to fall into place. We had no problems with Talon, and like CD said about Ceaser, Talon is very adaptable with change. Just my opinion, you do what is right for you, and what you feel comfortable with.

No. question here..........I feel the love & companionship from a grey much more than from a snake.:cheer: And I have had snakes in the past, so I base this on my own experience. Besides, I like to talk, and have my grey talk back. But everyone is different, and has their own opinions. What ever makes you that happiest. :)

Tari, I'm so sorry........... :(

Good news Tari! Hope she keeps getting stronger and stronger. Please continue to keep us posted. :dry:

They will growl when they are very frightened, especially when they are so young. But since Talon can be a little on the feisty side.....I would go with the calmer one. But you really need to visit again and spend time with them all, and see which one just feels special to you. :cheer: :cheer: Good luck and let us know!!<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2007/07/09 17:16

Congratulations Tari. I know you will do a great job! You have such a wealth of knowledge to share, we look forward to hearing and learning more from you. {Emotions-000200C1}

You sound just like my nephew, only now he is also a 911 operator. How old did you say you are..........:huh:

Okay, I'm going to cheat a little, and make this my 1000th post. Judy, CD, hope you guys don't mind! <br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2007/07/09 02:54

Talon's favorite off-limits toy is my keyboard, well, she does mange to walk all over it when I am typing. Pens & pencils too!

This will be hard, there are so many excellent ones!! Can we vote for more than one??

{Feel-good-0002006E} Again Melissa, where do you get these jokes!!

Here's another of my favorites: Make a Memory by Bon Jovi Hello again, Its you and me Kinda like how it used to be Sippin' wine, killin' time Tryin' to solve lifes mysteries How's your life? Its been a while God, it's good to see you smile I see you reaching for your keys Looking for a reason not to leave If you don't know if you should stay If you don't say what's on your mind Baby just breathe, There's nowhere else tonight we should be You want to make a memory I took out this old photograph Look at all the hair we had It's bittersweet to hear you laugh Your phone is ringing, I don't want to ask If you go now, I'll understand If you stay here, I've got a plan You want to make a memory You want to steal a piece of time You can sing the melody to me And I can write a couple lines You want to make a memory If you don't know if you should stay And you don't say what's on your mind Baby just breathe Theres nowhere else tonight we should be we should be, we should be You want to make a memory You want to steal a piece of time You can sing the melody to me And I can write a couple lines You want to make a memory You want to make a memory

Eew! Not number 3 in my house Melissa!! Thanks for the good laugh, as always!!{Feel-good-0002006E}

Tari....any update? We're all worried about him.

Josh, Everyone here gives excellent advice. Not much more to offer, except, I love your avatar! :)

Lidia, that is a very nice cage. I too love Judy's cage, and would like one like it.:cheer:

Looks like FairY is on her way also..............{Communicate-0002011B}

Let me know how it works!

Geoff, he is beautiful, and soooo cute! Thanks for sharing these pictures with us. H will be perching and climbing safely very quickly. I know Talon did, and she was young when we got her.
